Caring for our oceans

Our oceans cover more than 70% of our planet, so it’s important we do our part to help protect them! Sustainably sourced seafood allows us to help preserve the integrity of our oceans and the planet by ensuring safe and responsible farming practices. When you shop sustainably sourced seafood, you’re supporting fisheries who reduce the pressure on our ecosystems caused by overfishing and habitat-damaging fishing methods.

Catch of the Season:
Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon

Bristol Bay is a watershed in southwestern Alaska and is home to some of the highest-quality sockeye salmon in North America. Six major rivers are combined to create this pristine habitat for the last 130 years. While this mineral-dense, freshwater ecosystem houses more than 29 different fish; all five species of Pacific salmon are found here with sockeye being the most abundant. In many other parts of Alaska, you will find hatchery-born salmon that have been released into to wild, but Bristol Bay’s sockeye salmon remains completely wild due to the care and strict sustainable practices.

Bristol Bay’s wild sockeye salmon is sustainably certified, and the fishing community is hyper-sensitive to the salmon count, ensuring it stays this way. Every day, local fisheries work closely with biologists to track the amount of sockeye salmon in each river system before harvesting in order to protect and sustain future generations for years to come.

When you choose wild sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay, you’re supporting:
